Portland Mercado is a collection of food carts (or a "pod") in Portland, Oregon, United States. The carts are located in Southeast Portland's Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood, at the border of Foster-Powell.
Description and history
The food cart "pod" opened in 2015 and focuses on Latin American cuisine, community and culture. It has been described as Portland's first Latino public market. The pod is managed by Hacienda CDC.
In 2024, a two-alarm fire damaged the central building and temporarily stopped power and water service for the carts. Hacienda CDC created the Portland Mercado Fire Relief Fund to support the businesses impacted by the fire. The food pod re-opened approximately three weeks later.
